Changes to Grants Policy

South Wairarapa District Council

We’ve made some changes to our Grants Policy

We want to give more certainty to community groups for activities that align well with our community outcomes and from next financial year propose to enter into partnership arrangements for multi-year or operational funding.

This will also make it clear the amount of grant budget that has been allocated to such arrangements and how much contestable funds remain for other applications.

Other changes to the policy include amendments to the eligibility and assessment criteria so that we can support those causes most important to us and bringing Community Board and Māori Standing Committee grants together under the one policy.
